Lessons

What contributes to your most authentic musical expression and originality?

Most teaching styles focus primarily on the mental aspects of learning guitar, such as theory and technique. While these tools are certainly valuable for the guitarist, they are ruled by the head and provide only one dimension of musical expression, namely structure.

Where do inspiration, passion, creativity, artistic voice, and a deep sense of meaning in your music come from?

These are all sourced in the heart, the home of our deepest and most passionate possibilities of musical expression. Lessons are designed to help you tap into the source of your creativity and innate gifts and talents by gently inviting both heart and mind into your music. While teachings in theory and technique are available (and are often a helpful and realistic place to start), creative exploration along with the thoughtful support of your most authentic musical desires take precedence. If interested, introducing vocals along with guitar playing is encouraged; though it is in no way required or preferred.

In a lesson, you can choose to explore:

Songwriting Singing & playing

Improvisation Theory & technique

Performance Playing with others

Musical creativity And more!
